Some of my projects became greyed out and now I cannot access them. I don’t know why but they are set as “Private”. I’m on a free plan but this has nothing to do with the trial finish as it happened way before that. How can I make them public again so I can have access to these projects? Cheers! ---

Private projects in Toggl Track are a Premium feature. When a workspace is downgraded from a paid plan to the free plan, projects that were set to Private become locked and appear greyed out. To access those projects again, you would need to upgrade to a Premium plan to be able to change the privacy settings back to public. As a workaround on the free plan, you can still create new public projects and move forward with those, though the greyed out private projects would remain inaccessible without upgrading. _— AI-generated response.

That doesn’t seem to be a great response. I don’t even understand why were they set as private as I’m the only one on my organization. Maybe it was my mistake, I can give you that. Can someone at Toggl please set these projects as “Shared”? Thank you. ---

I just noticed today the ability to set them Public again. I’m not sure if it was there all along or if you added it now, but problem solved. Thank you. ![Captura de ecrã 2026-07-16, às 11.13.14](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/toggl1/original/2X/4/4170060a8328e14c561fa05f29008e580e8b300c.png)
